[For a while after the pages thing, Four found it hard to get himself interested in anything. After all the chasing he had done, he's still all alone. His family isn't here, and he wonders if they'll ever be here. He knows that if he doesn't give himself something to do, he'll slowly drive himself crazy by sitting in a corner and going through every moment he had spent with each of his family members.

It doesn't take him long to give himself a project. He has made a few friends here, so maybe it's time to appreciate them. This is way better than sitting around and moping all day.]

I have a present for you. I made them myself :)

Also I have a question for everyone else:

What makes something beautiful?

It really is Four. I understand how wars happen, the steps as they occur, but they why...it's so much more complicated. It comes from hearts and sparks darker than mine. Greed and corruption, people who want to own and covet beauty and love instead of share it. I... I think it's the only way one could turn something like love ugly.

[He looks down a moment, a shadow over his face, because he has a notion of what that ugliness is like now. He cycles a sigh and pushed the thought away.]

Beauty in war? I don't know Four...what beauty and love I have seen in the midst of war exists despite it and not because of it. The charitable care given to victims, the courage shown by warriors defending the lives of others...

My order has tried, in a way, to bring beauty to combat. We have katas: choreographed dances of a sort that use weapons. They are full of symbolism, and are beautiful, but are not real war or combat. I suppose it's our attempt to transform war into beauty...

Both love and hate can create war. I know, it seems to make little sense when simplified like that. [He shakes his head, if only things were that simple.]
